Re: Netbackup on a RAC

You didn't provide any requirements so it's not really possible to judge.
RAC and Netbackup is not enough. This can only give two answers - it
works or it doesn't.

What you quoted looks like some random rumbling... I kind of see
someone is trying to make few points there and even reserve the right
to say later that it's all your fault and you've been warned - "save
this email so we can all remember that this was mentioned".

Whatever someone tried to say - you can interpret it in any way you
like and won't be too far from it.
